Entangled With The Mafia Lord

Aria only blushed cutely before smiling at Nicole in understanding as she slid down my arms and headed back towards the bed. Nicole tried apologizing again but Aria waved her off while telling her not to worry about it. I stepped out the room and closed the door quietly behind me. A blush stained Nicole and she wouldn’t glance at my face until after about a minute- oh well, at least that alone would remind her to knock on my door next time before coming in since Aria was going to be a part of my life somehow.

“So Daven wants to go see Nicolas but Tristan wouldn’t let him because Nicolas said he isn’t ready to see anyone yet.” She explained while pushing her hair out of her face, I didn’t miss the tang of hurt under the statement.

“Tristan said to come hear from your first, but Daven is drowsy now because of the drugs still in his body, he said he just wants to ensure Nicolas was alright before taking a nap so I decided to come help him ask if it was alright.”

It was not hidden news that Nicole and Nicolas were extremely close the most in the house- but somehow, along the way, Nicolas and Daven started bonding more. It was probably because they were both guys and have been to lots of dangerous places together. I didn’t know if Nicolas was gonna be thrilled to see anyone apart from Tristan and I but then I remembered how he had been worried on hearing that Daven was hurt. He’d definitely wanna see Nicolas more.

“I guess he wouldn’t mind seeing Nicolas, I’ll take him there.” I replied to her and this time, she didn’t bother to hide her hurt expression.

“But he’d mind seeing his twin? How convenient.” She muttered before spinning on her toes and heading to her room down the hall.

I breathed out a sigh and headed back into the room to tell Aria I’d be back soon before ascending the stairs and heading towards Nicolas’s room with Daven trailing slowly behind me, his hands shoved in his pockets and his head tucked in his chest while his hair fell over his eyes.

I knocked on Nicolas’s door twice before shoving the door open a little and peaking into it. Nicolas was sitting on the floor beside his floor length window with his legs drawn up before him. The windows were closed and curtains were drawn back only a little, the room was almost pitch perfect for the dim lights which were still turned on.

“Nicolas?” I called out softly.

“Hey Auden.” He replied quietly. I looked around for his new phone and sighted it on the table, that was so unlike Nicolas. On a normal day, he wouldn’t be ever caught alone in his room in a depressing state with his phone still looking untouched on the table, he’d have been in a gaming room playing a game and texting at the same time. He was someone who was extremely addicted to his phone, it was disturbing sometimes- and seeing him being the complete opposite of his normal self was breaking me slowly.

“Daven and I returned from the hospital a few minutes ago, he’s here to see you.” I informed him and watched in bewilderment as he whipped his head around fast and pushed to his feet carefully.

“Really? Where’s he?”

“Right here.” Daven replied this time just as I pulled open the door completely and finally allowed Daven a glimpse of the room, and its occupant.

I saw the first genuine smile tug at Nicolas’s lips as he walked towards us since last night. Daven stepped into the room and stood a few feet away from Nicolas with his hand still tucked in his pockets. Nicolas and Daven were exactly the same height which resulted in them staring into each other’s eyes.

“How are you, man?” Daven asked at the same time Nicolas asked him about his head. The both of them chuckled a little before Nicolas stuck out his hand for a handshake. I watched as Daven stared at it for a few seconds before he closed the distance between them and pulled Nicolas into his arms. Nicolas stood rigid for a few seconds before he wrapped his hands around Nicolas and allowed his head to drop on Daven’s shoulder. Nicolas was two years younger than Daven, but he managed to tower over him a little.

I watched as Nicolas’s eyes slid close for a few seconds before it peaked open and locked with mine. I nodded my head at him and stepped out of the room before closing the door quietly on the two of them, not wanting to ruin that intimate bubble they were in.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
